Sheep dog herding and fighting turkeys

 Strang Ranch, Carbondale, CO

  Starting at the far end of the field and directed by whistles from the trainer, the dog herd the sheep through the middle gates, around the handler counter clockwise, through the right set of gates then through the left gates, into a circle in the field, split the sheep into two sets, bring them back together again and into the pen....sometimes.

 When the dogs are finished with their task, they take a dip in the pool.
On the way home we came across these two male turkeys battling it out in the middle of the road, stopping all cars, but this picture was the best one from the side of the road....
